This whole gig, digging into zodiac stuff and making predictions, it started because of a mess, just like everything good that actually works in my life, honestly.
The Kick-Off: When My Mate Went Sideways
I wasn’t supposed to be analyzing Virgo career paths for 2023. I had my own crap lined up to deal with. But my friend, Mark—pure, stressed-out Virgo, the textbook example—totally blew up his stable job right before the holidays in 2022. I mean, he totally nuked the relationship with his old boss on a bad day. He was sitting on my couch, sipping a cheap beer, convinced January 2023 was going to be the financial and career apocalypse. He’d spent days just scrolling job boards, getting nowhere, getting more and more panicked.
Every piece of vanilla advice I threw at him—”update your LinkedIn,” “network harder,” “take a break”—just made his eyes roll up into his head. That’s when I thought, Screw it. Let’s try the opposite of logic. I told him, “Hold up. I’m going to map this January mess for you. We’ll use the stars, because nothing else is working and we need a new blueprint.” He just laughed, but I could tell he was desperate enough to try anything I threw at him. So, I committed to the deep dive.
The Dirty Process: Scrabbling for Data and Dates
My process is never clean; this isn’t some slick, professional report you’d pay a fortune for. This is me, two monitors blazing, fueled by terrible convenience store coffee, trying to reverse-engineer chaos and find a pattern.
I had this massive, ancient spreadsheet I’d been keeping for years—it’s just a clumsy, unformatted dump of major career changes Mark and a few other close friends went through, tied to the exact sign transits at the time. I cracked open that file first. I specifically ignored all the fluffy, generic articles you see online that use flowery words. I focused hard on Saturn’s movement through the 6th house for Virgos—that’s the work/daily grind house—and Jupiter’s position in the 8th—other people’s money and debts. This combination screamed “major, grinding restructuring” followed, eventually, by “unexpected cash or a contract.”
My critical job was to pinpoint the timing. I didn’t want a useless “good year” prediction; I wanted a “Tuesday the 17th” kind of action plan.
- Step 1: Scraped all the Jan 2023 Virgo forecasts I could find—from the legit-looking ones to the absolute garbage—and dumped them into a simple text file. It was about 40 different sources, all contradictory.
- Step 2: Filtered that mess using a basic keyword counter I coded ages ago. The goal was simple: extract high-frequency action keywords (like “new contract,” “boss fight,” “unexpected income,” “restructure,” “pay dispute”).
- Step 3: Correlated those keywords with the actual major lunar and planetary events happening in early January, specifically focusing on the January 6th Full Moon and the January 21st New Moon. Everything I saw consistently pointed to an emotional blowout or major decision near the 6th, and a clear new path or start kicking off just after the 21st.
I literally fought with the data for three solid, late nights. It felt stupid, putting so much effort into an astrology chart, but I was committed to giving Mark something tangible to hang onto, a roadmap to follow while he was panicking. The truth is, I was practicing a kind of radical simplification. I cut out anything that wasn’t a hard deadline or a clear, definable action.
The Real Result: More Than Just Stars
I finally handed Mark the printed analysis—a very rough, highlighted timeline on A4 paper. It basically said: “Jan 1st-10th is pure hell, expect an emotional career explosion/fight. Jan 11th-20th: Quietly rebuild your network and skills. Jan 21st onwards: New money, new opportunities, maybe a weird new job title.”
What actually happened was what cemented this practice for me. On January 7th, Mark had the massive, final emotional fight with his old manager he’d been avoiding for months. The full moon timing was incredibly eerie. He followed the playbook I gave him for the next two weeks—just quietly calling up old contacts and having coffee instead of stress-applying to every random online ad. Then, on January 25th, he landed a contract doing freelance consulting for a company he’d worked with four years prior. The pay was higher, the hours were fewer, and the title was indeed weird and unexpected.
This is exactly why I share this stuff. It wasn’t the stars that did it; it was having a fixed, if slightly unconventional, map to follow when everything felt overwhelming and out of control. My practice here wasn’t just analysis. It was about proving a framework works—even when the framework is based on planetary movements and a messy spreadsheet. When you’re stuck and panicking, sometimes you need someone to draw a weird line in the sand and tell you, “This is when the storm stops. Cross here.”
So, yeah, the Virgo Career Jan 2023 analysis was a success. Not because I’m some guru, but because I wrestled the data, simplified the complexity, and gave a guy a definitive calendar to use instead of a huge, intimidating job board to hopelessly stare at. I’ll keep logging these practical experiments. They are messy, but they deliver real results. I am now charting the next rounds. Always moving, always recording the actual field notes.
